Read the first chapter last night. Certainly, this wasn’t written for the layman; I understood maybe a fourth of the ideas expressed. Still, I’ve wanted to read this book for some time now, so I’m going to stick with it. Perhaps it’ll become more understandable as I progress.

Well, I tried toughing it out, but there’s too much jargon/neologisms to wrap my head around.

I’m going to try to track down a copy of Sherburne’s A Key to Whitehead’s Process and Reality. It apparently reorders and annotates Whitehead’s material so it’s more accessible to the layman.

Funny thing is, as much of a '90s kid as I am, I don’t much care for the '90s film aesthetic. Can’t put my finger on what it is, but much of the time, something about it just doesn’t gel with me.

BEST

The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

WORST

Triple Trouble (1918)

One of my dogs killed one of my kittens.

“Streaming series.” So do I assume that this will be neither on cable nor a mainstream streaming service and that I will instead have to subscribe to a whole new streaming service if I want to watch this?

Yes, it’s one of the many exclusive titles Disney is currently working on for its own streaming service.

Optimism now eclipsed by capitalist greed.

Thank you for reminding me why I want you to die, Disney.

However, there is one field where I would agree that it’s in a dead end and that is string theory. So far, none of its big predictions came true, but it seems almost too big to admit this and start over, as so many people have already put so much work into it. Instead, they are turning it from a theory of everything to a theory of anything, which is ultimately a theory of nothing.

Reminds me of a certain popular sci-fi and/or fantasy franchise.

I did. Weather’s too cold for dahmages.

I’m always surprised to find most people don’t really care about film at all.

Or only care about it as a form of disposable entertainment.

Nevermind.

I’d like to see fury of the demon. A film that causes people to suddenly become violent? Count me in

Never heard of that one. I’m intrigued!

There was a documentary about it a few years ago with the same name. Supposedly it was a super disturbing film and was only screened a few times because at all the screenings the audience suddenly became unexplicably violent.

I just did a little research on this documentary. Looks like it may actually be a pseudo-documentary, and this madness-inducing lost film never actually existed.

That’s why I don’t watch movies with the family anymore. TCM was playing Carnival of Souls one time, and I couldn’t enjoy a second of it because my boorish father and sister found it boring.

So I’ve just started getting an “net::err_cert_date_invalid” message when I try accessing this site through Chrome. Is it safe to say the site’s SSL certificate just needs renewal and there’s nothing suspicious going on at my end?

[JEDIT]

Decided to restart my computer just to see if that did anything, and now the site’s loading normally. Strange.

I hate my father with every last fibre of my being. He’s a cruel, spiteful, ungrateful, hypocritical bastard, and I will not miss him once he’s dead and rotting in the earth. First chance I get, I’m changing my last name; I no longer want to be associated with the bloodline that produced him.

I have the same problem but I’m keeping my name. Why do you hate yours if I might ask?

Long story short, he’s a self-centered, narcissistic bully.
